Remembering...

[Mr. Twister]

It was a tough experience for us. My wife and I are both from New York. She is from NYC. We lost family friends in the towers. I felt so helpless watching my wife cry as we saw the attacks.

It changed my life. Those who know me personally know I have gone through extensive training to be prepared to save people in time of crisis. Not only am I a Rescue Diver, I am an Emergency First Responder, member of an Emergency Response Team and trained in almost every aspect of rescue. I did all this in response to the attacks. I want to be able to make a difference if ever needed. I hope my services never are.

I still can't thank the people of Jamaica enough for what they did for us. Even the owner of the house we rented said we could stay as long as we needed for free until we could return home. What a kind gesture. I remember that many hotels did the same for Americans stuck in Jamaica....even the Ritz. Total class acts by all.
